HILLARY WANTS DAVID SHUSTER FIRED (or end up like Vince Foster)
New York Daily News ^ | 2/9/08

Posted on 02/09/2008 1:10:43 PM PST by LdSentinal

LEWISTON, Me. — Hillary Clinton isn’t pulling her punches today, and she’s ripped.

Clinton doesn’t think a temporary suspension fits the crime by MSNBC’s David Shuster, who commented this week that the Clinton campaign had “pimped out” 27-year old Chelsea Clinton by having her try to recruit Democratic Party super delegates to support her mother.

Sen. Clinton’s letter to Steve Capus, president of NBC News, pretty much says it all:

Dear Mr. Capus,

Thank you for your call yesterday. I wanted to send you this note to convey the depth of my feeling about David Shuster’s comments.

I know that I am a public figure and that my daughter is playing a public role in my campaign. I am accustomed to criticism, certainly from MSNBC. I know that it goes with the territory.

However, I became Chelsea’s mother long before I ran for any office and I will always be a mom first and a public official second.

Nothing justifies the kind of debasing language that David Shuster used and no temporary suspension or half-hearted apology is sufficient.

I would urge you to look at the pattern of behavior on your network that seems to repeatedly lead to this sort of degrading language.

There’s a lot at stake for our country in this election. Surely, you can do your jobs as journalists and commentators and still keep the discourse civil and appropriate.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

We wanted her husband fired for soiling the oval office and using his powerful position to gain sexual favors. Lot of good it did us. You are both back looking for another turn. Yuk.

Ah, yes, I remember them well....

Front page ad material.

What do all these people have in common?

Then the list and how they “offended” the Clinton mafia.

“kooks” is what used to be claimed any time the “Clinton Trail of Death” was mentioned.

Well, I hope the Obama security people have read the list, take it seriously, and are keeping him off any private planes or near any Parks.....

She is one dangerous sick person. How stupid are her staff to work for her. They are either stupid or were born AFTER the Clinton's were in power before.
Travel gate, Vince Foster, File gate, China gate, Ron Brown, and on and on and on into infinity.

Well, Bill is “pimping” for Hellary. After the convention, she will be “pimping” Osama to be his VP. The whole family should be wearing thick furs and driving a 1988 Cadillac Eldorado with shag carpet in the rear window and a fuzzy steering wheel cover.

Is anyone keeping track of events since 2000?

I wonder that they would just stop at that time.

Senate races, campaigning, raising money, legal matters are all continuing.

The dems didn’t seem to mind when the press was pillorying the Bush girls.

I’m trying to remember why he was booted off Fox News?

BTW, I don’t think he should be fired any more than Imus should have.

Someday people will have to learn to say NO to the Clintons!

***No way. Shuster was booted off of FOX NEWS years ago. I can’t stand him.***

I had to listen to the CNN Clinton New Network today the nail salon. I just wanted to get a scream and run. Hillary has no ideas except “we must get the two oil men out of the White House”. Is Bush Running again? Do you I had the Vietnamise male nail tech. start yelling at me because I said I was a Bush supporter. He said “everything is Bush’s fault” and Hillary will change everything. I ignored him. While I was drying my toes he kept pointing to me saying “She likes Bush” loud so everyone can hear. LOL I ended up leaving and forgot to pay.

Looks more like a hideously elongated Tom Hanks, to me. ;)

Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall all this outrage when the MSM tried to foist a wedge between Rudy Giuliani and his son. I guess it's okay to use the children of Republican candidates, but not Democrat ones.
